Even without dressing it up, Alfredo Sauce is already rich, creamy, and cheesy — an undisputed icon of comfort food. So how could we possibly improve upon it? By adding Truffle, of course! (Honestly, it seems obvious, now that we’re saying it out loud.) With Trader Joe’s Black Truffle Alfredo Pasta Sauce, we’ve taken something full-bodied and flavorful and given it something of an epicurean upgrade.

Starting with a classic, velvety Alfredo made with savory grated Pecorino Romano and Grana Padano, our supplier then adds real pieces of black summer truffle to complete this captivatingly comfy recipe — just enough to evoke the earthy, umami aspect of truffle without overpowering the sauce’s creaminess. We find that, in addition to making a mean (not to mention effortless) fettuccine Alfredo, it can also be used to give other comfort food classics an exciting, truffle-y twist: try using it in lieu of tomato sauce in your next pizza or lasagna, for instance.
